CAMPAIGN SEASON

Chinese Gymnasts To Headline Republican Convention

Chinese Gymnasts To Headline Republican Convention

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (CAP) - As the country gears up for Minnesota's first Republican National Convention since 1892, buzz throughout the Twin Cities is centering around the unlikely celebrities who will be appearing on the last day of the event. Chinese Olympic gymnasts He Kexin and Yang Yilin will take center stage alongside John McCain as he accepts his party's nomination.

"We'd been looking for that one thing that says, Here come the Republicans!" Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) told CAP News. "And nothing says winner like the performance those girls put on at the Olympics. It's that winning image we want right beside our man McCain."

Coleman, who used his influence on the Committee on Foreign Relations to bring the girls to America, said the plan is to have Kexin and Yilin flank the Arizona senator when he gives his speech. Between the height difference and McCain standing on a slightly elevated platform, Coleman said the subliminal message to viewers will be that of John McCain as a gold medalist.

The play is simply another piece of the Republican party's Olympics-themed convention, where it had been expected that McCain would announce American swimmer Michael Phelps as his running mate before news leaked about Sarah Palin. However, political pundits wonder if highlighting underage foreign girls is the best move for the presumptive GOP nominee.

"What's he gonna do next, hand out bumper stickers or buttons or t-shirts emblazoned with some nice lead paint?" asked CAP News political analyst Fuad Reveiz. "Besides, by the time McCain comes on stage, isn't it just a little past those girls' bedtimes?"

Not so, said Coleman, thanks to the time difference. "Trust me, we've thought of everything," he added, noting that the Chinese gymnasts were chosen over their American counterparts for very specific reasons.

"Clearly they're Democrats," Coleman admonished. "Look at all the whining and crying and complaining when the judging didn't go their way at the Olympics, while those Chinese girls handled everything with grace and dignity.

"Hello, Al Gore 2000, anyone?" Coleman added with a chuckle.

For his part, John McCain is very excited to have the international superstars alongside him as he takes the next step in his improbably journey. "I have a special affinity for Asians," he told CAP News on the set of his upcoming MTV Cribs episode, "or slanties, as we used to call them in Hanoi."

Convention organizers said the plan is to have McCain walk off the stage with Kexin, the smaller of the two gymnasts, hoisted up on his shoulders while Yilin performs a quick floor routine for the adoring crowd.

With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» The FBI is investigating who wiretapped Sen. Mitch McConnell's office, tapes of which show him slandering one-time opponent Ashley Judd. "I have a right to be devious and unethical in a private setting," he said. "I'm sure I'll say plenty of stupid things publicly during this campaign, just be patient." «» President Obama may spend the foreseeable future sleeping in the Oval Office after returning five percent of his salary in solidarity with furloughed federal workers. Sources say that portion was budgeted for Michelle's clothing allowance and "I'll be damned if I go the next six months dressing like Hillary Clinton." «» Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) now supports gay marriage because his son Will is gay and "if it takes shacking up with another man to get him to move out, so be it." Portman took two years to reconsider after Will came out because he "swore it was just a phase." «» Parental advisory groups are up in arms over the naming of the new One Direction sports drink, simply called OD. "Other than their obvious lack of originality, it's the slogan we don't like," said Mothers Against Everything. "Have You OD'ed Today? isn't exactly the message we should be sending children." «» Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say they have isolated the hormone Honkytonkin, found predominantly in white males from Southern states.

"The life and accomplishments of all the other princesses are way too unachievable for little girls," said a spokesperson. "Fran is basically the princess from the projects, which more girls can relate to." «» U.S. logging industry officials say these days, loggers are chopping down trees "just because" it's all they know how to do. "With the ailing housing market, dying newspaper industry and paperless billing, people aren't using as many trees," said one contractor. "Maybe some day people will need more fence posts." «» The battle between Rush Limbaugh and WABC heated up as the radio station blamed low ad revenues on Rush's sobriety. "Nobody gives a crap about his politics anymore," said a source. "What they want to hear is the crazy-ass shit he says when he's all hopped up on prescription drugs." «» A local auction house is accepting bids on a rock that came from astronaut Neil Armstrong's shoe. "No, it's not a moon rock or anything like that," said a spokesperson. "I think it got stuck in his shoe while he was working in his garden. But what a conversation piece!" «»
